Podcasts about temmler

In 1938 the German pharmaceutical company Temmler patented the drug Pervitin. In 1939 the Germans conquered…a lot of places. These two events may be linked. We do all of that to get to the story of Aimo Koivunen, the Finnish soldier who makes John Belushi look like Jim Belushi.

Dette er en serie der jeg kaster et farmakologisk blikk på den andre verdenskrig og fremveksten til det tredje riket. Dette er et tema det er snakket svært lite om, men som kan ha hatt en vesentlig betydning for utviklingen av krigen. Når nasjonalsosialistene kom til makten i Tyskland så startet de "Rauschgiftkampfung", eller "krigen mot narkotika" som et ledd i å marginalisere og stigmatisere uønskede grupper i samfunnet. Men i skyggen av denne kampanjen vokste den nye mirakelmedisinen "Pervitin" seg enormt populær, både i sivilbefolkningen og hæren.Dette preparatet som ble markedsført som en kur mot depresjon, frigiditet og utmattelse var den store stoltheten til legemiddelfirmaet Temmler. Ved å forbedre en kjemisk prosess utviklet av japanske forskere hadde de klart å fremstille et preparat som skulle vise seg å ha langt større ringvirkninger en de hadde sett for seg i sine villeste fantasier. I denne episoden ta jeg også et oppgjør med "krigen mot narkotika".https://taakeprat.com

Norman Ohler’s Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017) explores the drug culture of Nazi Germany. Far from being a nation of physical and mental purity portrayed by Goebbels’s propaganda machine, Ohler shows Germany was a hub of drug production and abuse during the 1920s. Manufacturers like Merck and Bayer openly marketed their wares to the public, building the basis of so-called big pharma on intoxicants. Produced by Temmler, the Nazi elite embraced methamphetamine as a wonder drug, free of the connotations of disease and degeneracy associated with the drug culture of the Weimar years. Stimulants became a valuable tool in Germany’s wartime arsenal. The German military acknowledged the value of amphetamines and distributed Pervitin en masse. Ohler argues amphetamines powered the Wehrmacht’s armored Blitzkrieg of 1939-1941, defeating the Allies in France and elsewhere. These gains were short-lived, however. Nazi Germany’s Faustian bargain with drugs evaporated during the Battle of Stalingrad and in the distant steppes of the Soviet Union. Ever more powerful drug combinations were desperately sought by the Nazi state to save the Reich from annihilation, exposing horrors of the regime from experiments on concentration camp prisoners and drugged child soldiers. Blitzed details how Hitler’s personal physician, Dr. Theo Morell, administered vitamin concoctions and hormone injections common to athletic doping to pump up Hitler’s ailing body during the war years. Though Hitler had promised to cleanse the nation of drug abuse, he himself became utterly dependent on drugs to survive. Military defeat and destruction took their toll on Nazism embodied, Morell increasingly looked towards methamphetamine and oxycodone (Eukodal) to keep Hitler wake and alert during the last apocalyptic years of the Reich. In so doing, Morell himself built an impressive medical empire based on quack medicines and bought political access. Ohler shows how in the final months of the conflict, Morell’s supplies of drugs ran out, exposing Hitler’s frail body to his inner circle with health crises, symptoms of chemical withdraw, and fits of madness.

Creada en 1938 por la farmacéutica Temmler, Alemania, la Pervitina fue muy popular entre las tropas alemanas, especialmente durante la primera fase de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando invadieron Polonia y Francia. Actualmente la Pervitina se conoce por el nombre de cristal o speed y sus efectos fueron tremendamente útiles para los soldados: induce una subida de adrenalina y reduce el cansancio, el dolor, el hambre y el sueño.
